Correction:

In the Federal Register notice number FR Doc. 84 FR,35, Pages 5426-5427 (2 pages) Document Number, 2019-02885 filed on February 20, 2019, the National Assessment Governing Board published a notice of its open and closed meetings scheduled to take place on February 28, March 1, and March 2, 2019. The notice is hereby amended to add a closed session on Friday, March 1, 2019 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:25 a.m. to receive a briefing from the Governing Board's search committee on applications received for the Governing Board's Executive Director vacancy, and to discuss a recommendation from the Executive Committee to appoint the Executive Director. The Governing Board's discussions pertain solely to internal personnel rules and practices of an agency and information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As such, the discussions are protected by exemptions 2 and 6 of § 552b(c) of Title 5 of the United States Code.

Following the closed session, the full Board meeting will meet from 8:25 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. to take a vote on the recommendation for appointment of the Executive Director. The remainder of the meeting agenda as published in the original notice is unchanged.
